Tenant reported damages from pipe break Feb. 19.

Yet, since I have been waiting patiently there have been pipes that busted inside of the home during the winter when it got too cold and ruined the flooring (all of it will have to pulled up and redone).

As for the tenant being dramatic and not picking up, I’d like to point out that pregnancy is exhausting and pregnancy with complications is overwhelming beyond belief.

Most of these repairs are inconveniences - noises from pipes in the walls, the AC being low on freon and not cooling very well, broken cabinets, etc.

10% down is a pipe dream. 

Forgive me Dave Ramsey, but paying cash for everything is a pipe dream to most people.

They scanned the sidewalk, backyard, and checked the basement and outside around the house for signs of oil piping.

Pipes were stolen along with water heaters.

@Benny Gelbendorf The roof and gutters would be around $1000 (fix top few rows of brick on chimney, replace pipe boots, split boot on electric meter mast, new gutters & downs, maybe gutter guards on some areas)The mold I do not know, I would imagine in the $1000 range, but would need an inspection from a mold expert.I am an exterior contractor and my partner is a handyman/general contractor.

As to "(if) we don't run out of water" I'm betting that one of two things will happen sometime in the future, 1) it will be decided to pipe the Columbia river from Washington the way oil is currently being piped across continents, or 2) a process will be developed to desalinate seawater cheaply or a process will be developed to bring moisture out of the air which can currently be done on a small scale.
